Labelexpo: Addon FilmTech to show innovations in shrink film

Products that will be featured at the company’s stand at Labelexpo India 2024 include PET shrink labels that offer full body coverage with 360-degree design. The label can communicate critical and mandatory information to the consumer. The shrink film’s tamper-evident seal ensures protection from adulteration, and adhesive-free application on the bottles/containers enables recycling of the rigid bottles or containers.

The company will also show its range of PET, CPET, PETG, RPET and copolyester shrink sleeve films which can be recyclable and contain post-consumer recycled (PCR) waste content, a replacement for PVC shrink film. Applications of the films include labelling food, beverage, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, homecare, and dairy products.

Addon’s HSP grade film is suitable for applications where sleeves are applied to bottles, containers, or jars and then passed through shrink tunnels. This is particularly suitable for the beverage industry or similar sectors where labels are applied at the final stage of the packaging line.

WF is Addon’s specialised grade of PET shrink film, engineered for universal compatibility with all types of bottles, jars, and containers, whether filled or empty and made of materials such as HDPE, PP, PET, glass, and metal. It is suitable for use in all types of shrink tunnels, including steam, hot air and electric shrink tunnels.

CSP is the company’s crystalliser-friendly grade film which when printed with washable inks that can be removed during the washing process of PET bottle recycling, eliminates the need to sort labels from the bottles, as it can easily pass through the crystalliser without causing agglomeration.

RSF-grade film contains a minimum of 30% post-consumer recycled (PCR) content enabling brands to build a long-term value for their consumer products and helping them reach their regulatory targets.
